72 clicks of off road non stop. .3 hours of adrelanine rush, 2 legs, 1 bike.. amount of calories burnt.. countless
Starry eyes and skies greeted me as i rosed from my slumber after that shrieking noise from that F....ing alarm clock.. ay ay what good english i cant stand myself.. hur hur
Ok,so this is what was originally planned weeks ago.. 3 and 2 night off road riding at malaysia.. sounds so cool to me la.. i was pretty much psyched for tis "MIGHT " be once in a life time challenge.and so it was 3 days 2 night.. and then it became 2 days 1 night... then it became 1 day touch and go becoz there were too little ppl.. then when we reached changi V tis morninng.. the rain was JUST too good to be true so .. we decided not to go to pengerang.. Great.. But oh well.. we did made the best outta the effort to go there.. we decide to go to pulau ubin instead..
Pulau ubin is fun.. its like returning back to home.. all of the sudden.. every ting is so familiar yet so far away... the run down cars... that opera stage. the tua bei kong temple.. the coconut selling shop.. the quarry... and yea.. of course .. the trees.. I'm not being an environmentalist or wat.. but the rambutan trees and durian trees makes me feel nostalgic.. Very~
well. i had a little off road cycling there before.. but that was like. hmm.. 17-3=14 years ago? ay ay.. i still remember my super purple colour tubeless extreme single speed bmx bike.. wakaka, but today's off road ride... is simple extraordinary.. well thats because the usual trail i ride had became too ordinary.. ~tink i bull shitt too much
any way .. the trail was neat stuffs with flowy trails and blind AGAYIFIED corners.. at first wen jie fell there .. then every one tot its so cool la.. that particular turn .. then every one 'go stun' and taking turns to fall down at that turn.. maniac ppl i'ld say.. i took the corner smoothly lo.. her~ (adapted from zhi's book of many many weird language)
ok.. no more laming.
we got our self pretty mudded up and all.. I got a flat.. and crashed into some trees . Hur hur.. one of the most magnificent crashed of the day.. i think.. The police offered to take photos for us.. mm pulau ubin have one of the most friendliest police force bah.. i think..
So after a quick clean up.. we settled down for our last coconuts and set off onto the ferry..it was the same uncle which ferried us there.
Wen jie and i tooked the roads back to bukit panjang.. ay ay i lead a wrong direction for one part and he was quite pissed la.. quite guilty now tinking of it. Then the cars there are horrendous.. today is one of the days i get so near to death.. there was 3 instances i almost had an accident.the first one was along kallang there.. where there is this turn ... we are going straight while there is tis faggot mazda 3 driver who turn in from the middle lane .. wen jie dodged it by cycling faster... i was behind him.. and i almost couldnt dodge it.. but i swerved and got my armed hit by its side mirror... and he just droved off.. imagine how irresposible and tyranic these drivers are.. asses..
And there is tis taxi.. which apparently think we will cycle slower then the time he take to turn out.. so he intended to go all out by turning out suddenly.. wen jie almost got caught by the nose of the car while me the back.. lucky we both swerved to the 2nd lane.. which a car almost immediatly droved passed us... lucky we didnt hit it..
And of course there is the bus..156.. i still remember the bus number.. It just turn out from the bus stop.. no signals no nothing... and seemingly he turn out when we were at the exit of the bus stop.. which is like.. so darn sickening .. like want to run us down liddat.. i didnt know bus driver has so much hate for cyclist.. wen jie pointed the middle finger while i cycled up to the driver's window.. and knock on it.. hoping it would knock some sense to that guy.. we were hooligans indeed....
ay ay.. but after that we went home la.. sad case of distance clocked today.. we only manage 76 km... haiz..
orite.. i'll go off liao...
u know.. some times its just so sad...
